The San Antonio Fire Department rescued a driver trapped on top of an SUV in raging water along Pinn Road early Monday morning.

The driver became stuck along a low-lying stretch of Pinn Road near Highway 151 at about 10:30 a.m. Firefighters extended ladders from two trucks, and also prepared at least one boat to put in the water.

At about 11:15 a.m., fire crews tied an extra step ladder onto the fully extended truck ladder and reached the driver as water rose against the SUV. The ladder extension was enough to reach the stranded driver and he was pulled to safety.

Severe weather has forced evacuations due to flooding in Leon Valley Monday morning.

According to the Leon Valley Fire Department Facebook page, heavy rains have led to a RED on the Floor Emergency Response Plan, which means that major flooding conditions are occurring. Residents in low-lying areas should evacuate.
